The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
这是一部集中反映文学艺术商品化及新闻界黑幕的小说，也是《人间喜剧》中最有深度，也最能反映时代精神的杰作之一。小说通过两个有才能、有抱负的青年的遭遇，反映了法国大革命以后整整一代青年的处境和精神状态，指出随着封建制度的解体和资本主义的胜利，必然出现人与人之间竟争角逐的局面，由此无可避免地会产生一首首个人奋斗的诗篇，一出出理想破灭的悲剧。

7分，太阳之下无新事，新闻行业从来都是这样一个运营规则，掌握了话语权，就掌握了操控的能力
19世纪的巴黎，满大街都是于连那样志大才疏的小伙子，在社会向现代化转型的进程里被撕的粉碎。艺术与贵族的关系是依附与赎买，艺术评论无关良心，是被随意涂抹的假面，人性的贪婪与邪恶在腐烂的城市里任意流淌，好一副关于堕落的全景浮世绘。
好的故事，今时今日依然如是，可见其经典，人类进步真缓慢。男女主的表演差了些，其它完成中规中矩。
后来枪神出现。
哈哈，精辟～
过山车的经历…来回摇摆，树敌太多，也算精彩过
the legend will be legend
这样的剧作堪称经典，不仅是对社会中的尔虞我诈、勾心斗角、世态炎凉的精准刻画，亦是对那样一种社会体系的描绘，这种作品的经典之处在于其不因社会形态的变化而消失，却随之在人世间何种阶段都会不断复演——经典永不过时…🥃
影片改编自巴尔扎克撰写的同名小说，讲述梦想成为作家的年轻诗人吕邦普雷(沃辛饰)离开昂古莱姆，只为巴黎的灯光。这部背景设置在19世纪的影片投资超1870万欧元，已于今夏法国开机，并将持续拍摄到10月底。
在巴尔札克的人间喜剧里，政治、感情、名气、灵魂... 万事也皆可买卖，每名 记者都变成了大作家。Lucien尝试爱，尝试挣扎，尝试在一切幻象中求存
UGC发邮件邀请的神秘首映，去看之前连是哪部片都不晓得。印象中很少看这种法国古装电影。
3.5. 原著黨全程吐槽。還行，是因為Lucien和幻滅的底子在不可能太不行，但是它改了的設定和為此新增的場次，消除了幻滅裡很多複雜微妙的氣質。Lucien是有過選擇和經歷的，Louis更加是完全不是那樣的。

都不是好东西，唯一让人有点怜惜的是甜美的小可爱。
surprisingly我挺惊喜的，可能因为预期比较低并且没看过原著，就像我在没看过The Great Gatsby的时候觉得改编的电影版很好一样
最后lucien回归家乡的样子，就是10年后的我
他是富于诗意的人，可不是诗人。他只管做梦，不肯思考。只忙乱，不创造。
种地打鸟憨农民，暗格藏架撑，高草丛潜行，猪圈夜宵加餐，传奇双枪反围剿林中对杀，悍匪易屠，冷枪难防，小子终会变老头……故事够老派，Tim Blake Nelson 够可爱
